Aviation Central takes great pride in extending an opportunity to you to advertise with us on our online platforms …
About Aviation Central:
Aviation is an online-based Aviation Media house specialising in Aviation Events.
Our 1st Priority is Air shows & Aerobatic competitions, followed by Air Races, Fly-in’s, Plane-spotting and other aviation-related competitions.
We specialise in keeping our South African aviation-loving public updated on all these events as well as special aviation events, fly pasts and special visiting aircraft. Examples of these are the Presidential inauguration, the recent visit of the Russian bombers and the arrival of SAA’s 1st Airbus A350-900.
We cover these events for the entire Southern African region (South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe).
Our team currently comprises of 6 members. In addition, we are currently mentoring a Grade 10 pupil in aviation media and photography. All our team members dedicate their time and energy at their own cost and personal time. We all have fulltime “day jobs” outside of the Aviation industry.
Aviation Central was initially founded in 2009 and has grown into a major role player in the online and social media space of Aviation in Southern Africa. We are official media partners to Africa Aerospace and Defence.
We have been running the official Facebook page for the Swartkop (SAAF Museum) Air Show since 2015 and were also media partner to AERO South Africa 2018. We have a Facebook following of over 33 000 and, at the current rate of growth, we expect to have over 40 000 followers before Africa Aero Space and Defence 2020.

We also have about 10 guys and gals that often share photos and stories with us. We have grown to a point where we need to expand our attendance at more Air shows and other Aviation Events to keep our followers informed and updated. Our main focus point currently are the air shows and keeping our public informed about them before, during and post air show. Our larger following is the typical aviation and air show lover. The chap that dreams of flying, doing his Pilot’s licence or just going on a scenic flight. Planning his next holiday, not only around the accommodation and activities, but also on what Aircraft and Airline he can get a seat on. The chap that will always look up when an Aircraft flies overhead.
Our main expenditure currently is spent on our travelling costs to attend events, costs to cover camera equipment, website hosting as well as data costs for live video recording.
We are also in desperate need of a good entry level video camera suitable for aviation photography.
